Webinar: Cannabinoids and Pain Management by Farmacy Cannabis Lecture Series

on-demand webinar

About this Webinar

Cannabis is an increasingly popular alternative to traditional pain-relieving medications, including opioids. THC works to temporarily relieve pain by interacting with the body's natural cannabinoid receptors and reducing pain signaling and pain perception. Another major cannabinoid CBD helps reduce systemic inflammation, therefore reducing the cause of pain and discomfort.

Learn about using cannabis for pain management from Dr. David Bearman, M.D. one of the most clinically knowledgeable physicians in the U.S. in the field of medical cannabis and currently the Vice President of Quality Assurance and Credentials for the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine.
